Earlier this year Twitter started a campaign where users could tweet their old tweets and show how they have reached their aspirations in life. In one such tweet, from April 2014, Bubba Wallace had apparently stated that he desired to race in the Xfinity Series. Moreover, sometime later, his tweet also appeared on a Los Angeles billboard.
Wallace’s luck struck gold as soon after he got the call-up into the NASCAR Xfinity Series with Joe Gibbs Racing. Ever since his life had been an upward spiral, as he soon reached the top flight of NASCAR in the Cup Series.
